Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment Coming To Vita This Summer

Bandai Namco has announced that the action/RPG, Sword Art Online: Hollow Fragment, will land on North American store shelves this summer. It'll arrive as a digital release exclusively on the PlayStation Vita.

The title launched in Japan this past week, and it features dungeon-crawling action goodness with dating sim elements. Players get to experience a robust character creation system, and they can team up with other Vita owners and AI-controlled characters. Obviously, the multiplayer aspect is a big part of the game, although we wonder how the dating sim parts come into play...

We've been saying for a long time now that Sony's portable needs more AAA exclusive software. Not sure if Sword Art Online qualifies, but it's certainly a niche title. And that's something.

Anyone who has watched the show will understand the dating sim aspects of the game. I kind of like how they have implemented that part of the show as well. Kirito and Asuna's relationship was one of the major plot points of the show.

omg!!!! finally i was close to buying the japenese since there were english subs but then i forgot for a little bit, but thank god I will be buying this one day one and ive also finished the show 3 times now, hopefully the games like the show
